[AfrICANN-discuss] [AFRI-Discuss] Call for topics: Joint AFRALO-AfrICANN Statement for ICANN63

Fri Sep 14 09:06:35 UTC 2018

Dear all,
Tijani has made a good suggestion and I would be happy to support this.
I am actually one of the 3 pen holders for the community application
working group with the Atlarge Consolidated Policy Working Group (CPSG)
which meet weekly and we are due to submit out contributions in a week or
so. Therefore I would be happy to contribute if we all agree with Tijani.
Thanks
